It was not until a few days later that a little girl finally appeared in front of the gate of her mansion with cheers and was warmly welcomed by her maids and guests (Emilya).

"Master, are you back?"

"Master, welcome back!"

"Lord, Master!!"

Those who bowed to Anne who was returning home were the twin sisters in black maid outfits, Ram and Rem, and the newly promoted little maid Petra.

Of course, Ram and Rem were relatively calm. They didn't know what their master had done outside, and they didn't have much trouble when they came back until now. Petra seemed a little excited, and she didn't know what she was excited about.

"Uh-huh!"

(′???`)

"I'm back!"

☆?(o*???)?

As he said that, after saying hello to the four of them, Annie, who was carrying a little dirty-looking bear, planned to enter the mansion.

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"Wait, wait!!"

"Anne!"

"You finally came back. How could you delay so many days before you came back? We have no news about you. Is something wrong?"

Unlike the twin sisters Ram, Rem and the newly promoted little maid Petra, who could only worry about her heart but didn't dare to say it, her mouth was different. Amilia, who was puzzled in her heart, stopped Anne at this time and asked with some concern.

Because when Little Annie went out, she didn't say when she would come back, and then she disappeared for several days. They were so worried about this period. Now that the other party has finally come back, she should always say hello and ask questions in a reasonable way.

"Um……"

(′???`)

"It's nothing, it's just that they just happened to come across something fun and delicious, and then they accidentally forgot the time."

(????-)?

“Huh?”

(=′ω=)Sniff ~

"What's wrong, Amilia, it seems like there is a strange smell at home. Is there something happening when someone is away?"

(???.???)??????

First, he sniffed in the air. When he smelled the faint smell of strangers in his home, Annie couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"ah?"

Looking at Annie's appearance, Emilya never thought that this would be possible.

“That’s how it is.”

"Before, a few days before you came back, the head of the Duke Karlsten's family, the very prestigious Lord Kursch Karlsten, did come to visit, but you were not there at that time, so I had to receive them on your behalf."

After being surprised, Amilia soon came to her senses and began to talk about the incident a few days ago.

“??”

(′?_?`)

"Curcius Karlsten?"

く(＾_?)ゝ

"Who is it?"

(???.???)??????

After thinking hard and thinking, Annie finally said that she didn't seem to know someone who had such a name, and since she didn't know him, she must be no important guy.

“…”

"One of Lugnika's five candidates for successors to the throne, the lady in men's clothing with long green hair, the head of the Duke of Karlsten's family, was the first to give a speech on stage during the throne meeting. Have you forgotten?"

"You won't really forget it, right?"

With his eyes wide open, Amilia was a little incredible.

Anyway, it was just a few days ago. Fortunately, the other party came to visit him specifically, Shunran was just passing the way, but the little guy in front of him had forgotten so quickly, which was indeed a bit unreasonable.

"ah!"

(?_?)ヾ

"I still can't remember..."

=????('ヮ'=????)

"So what's wrong with her?"

(*^▽^*)

After lowering her head and thinking about it, Annie still didn't remember who Amilia was talking about, so she asked directly about the reason why the other party came to visit her house for nothing.

“…”

"She wanted to come and visit you, but you were not there at that time, so I'll go to receive them on your behalf..."

First, he sighed, and then, Emiliya told him a little bit about the reasons for the visit of Lord Kurschal Karlsten, such as asking for advice on the white whale, carrying the burning bones of the white whale, showing goodwill to his side and informing the Witch Cult and wanting to provide assistance, etc.

"That white whale skeleton..."

"Annie, I agree to let them move, you probably won't mind?"

"What they said at that time was to move to the capital to public. At the same time, they would also take the initiative to carve the glorious deeds of you who attacked and burned the white whale alone in front of the bones, so I..."

As he spoke, Amilia couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, she agreed to the other party to move the bones without Annie's consent without authorization. If Annie had other uses, she would probably have done something stupid.

"The bones of the white whale?"

(〃'▽'〃〃)

"Ah! It turns out it hasn't been burned yet?"

(*^▽^*)

Annie thought that the weak white whale had been burned long ago and was directly burned to ashes, but she didn't expect that the other party had bones left, which really surprised her.

I think it must be because she wanted it to be burned longer, so it weakened the flame. It must be like that, right?

"Move it away, move it away anyway, the bones cannot be eaten, so it's useless to keep it..."

(ˉ▽￣￞］)Tsk~~

Annie didn't mind because she didn't care about that thing. Even if the other party didn't move, she would definitely not care about it. She would definitely let the bones rot in the forest.

"ha!"

"That's great!"

Hearing that Annie didn't take it to heart, Emilya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and she kept patting the front of her own slightly bloated chest.

"By the way, there is!"

"Annie, during the days when you were away, many visitors from the capital have come, mostly some nobles and merchants in the kingdom. They have left handwritten letters. Have you ever thought about making a follow-up visit to them?"

At this time, Emilya remembered the things that happened in the past few days when Anne was away, and then she started talking again.

To be honest, she was really busy these days, because if the king arrived at their territory and rode the full speed along the Lifaus Avenue in a dragon car, it would take only one day to go back and forth, so almost all the guys came in those days, and until Anne was not in the territory and no one could see it with her own eyes, the news gradually became less and less in the past two days.

“Visitor?”

ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?

"Does anyone know each other?"

∑(′△)?!

"this……"

"It probably doesn't know you?"

Many people don’t even know Emilya herself, so she feels that Anne, who doesn’t even know His Excellency Kurschul Karlsten, must not know those people.

"Then ignore them!"

...(,,???,,)…

Since she was a group of guys she didn't know and had nothing to do to come and show her attention, she must be uneasy! So, Annie felt that she didn't seem to have to waste her precious time eating, drinking and having fun to deal with those guys.

“…”

Sure enough, Amilia gave Ram and Rem a helpless look.
